*Arghh* As we read in http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/techniques-specific-to-lyrics: "Note: do not use an underscore, _, to skip notes – an underscore indicates a melisma, causing the preceding syllable to be left-aligned." This is exactly what happens. Here, the topmost LyricText is interpreted as the end of a melisma, and so left-aligned. Use \skip instead of _ and your problem is solved.
